MAKE A DONATION
The Rockford Education Foundation is a 501c3 organization.  Therefore, all donations are tax deductible to the extent allowed by law.
How do I make a donation?

Donations are gratefully accepted at anytime.  There are 2 easy ways to donate:
  • By mail - send a check, money order or credit card information to the above address.
  • By phone - call the number above with your credit card information.  Our line is secure.
Can I specify where the money goes? We don't have separate "accounts" set up for different schools.  However, you can make a donation in honor of your favorite teacher or in memory of a loved one.  We will notify the appropriate party.
How is my money used? Most of your money goes directly to grants.  A portion is used for operating expenses and to pay our Administrator.  Another portion is used to help build our endowment fund.  This "savings account" draws interest and ensures that grants will continue to be funded for years to come.
Shopping and cleaning can help too!  Here's how.. Meijer Community Rewards Program - Every time you shop at Meijer a portion of your sale benefits the REF if you use a Meijer Credit Card, a debit card, or cash.  Please sign up at www.meijer.com/rewards.  You can help up to three different organizations each time you shop.  The REF Organization Code is 717538.  Sign up today!

iSold It - Clean out those closets and donate those gently used items such as musical instruments, electronics, sports equipment, etc. to be sold on eBay.  Take your item to the iSold It store at 5333 Plainfield Ave. (on the curve near Northland Dr.), tell them you want to donate the item to the REF and they will handle the rest.  They will photograph it, put in on eBay, collect the funds and send the check to REF.  If your item doesn't sell, they will donate it to charity.

D&W Non-Profit Days - check our events calendar for those non-profit days at D&W.  Tell your checker you want your sale to benefit the REF and he/she will give us credit.
